Dolphin Bay Resort is built on a hill respecting the traditional Cycladic architecture and overlooks Galissas Beach – probably the best sandy beach on Syros. The beach, which is only a few steps away from the pool area, is well organised offering sunbeds, umbrellas, showers and other facilities. What’s more, you will enjoy swimming in shallow, crystal-clear waters.
Our room with a splendid view to Galissas Beach and the surrounding hills was quite spacious and beautifully decorated. The only minus was that the bathroom was quite small, with hardly any space for personal toiletries. On the other hand, cleanliness was very good. Two lifts offer easy access to all rooms.
The breakfast buffet is a special treat! It consists of a wide variety of hot and cold foods such as eggs, omelette, bacon, potatoes, delicious baked tomatoes seasoned with oregano, freshly-baked white and brown bread, toast, croissants, cereals, melon and/or water melon, local pastries and sweets, to mention only a few. Personally, I would have appreciated some homemade jams, though.
We were on Bed & Breakfast basis, so we thought we’d give Kavos Tavern a try. The tavern offers a great view to Galissas Beach as well as great food. On Friday and Saturday nights, you will also enjoy Greek live music. As for the service, it is excellent!
All the staff at Dolphin Bay Resort greet you with a warm “kalimera” and a bright smile. They are all very willing to help and provide information on the hotel and the island of Syros. During our stay, we didn’t have any problems at all, but , I’m sure the staff can effectively deal with any problem since we felt that nothing is too much trouble for them, as they all endeavour to make your stay at Dolphin Bay Resort a wonderful experience.
Last but not least, it’s very good value for money. If you plan a summer holiday on the island of Syros, don’t have second thoughts. Dolphin Bay Resort is the ideal holiday resort, especially if you are a family with young children or teenagers.
